This is the live stream we made last week at IKA as part of the Table Talk season of current affairs, proudly brought to you by Voyager. This month we will be live streaming the LifeWise discussion on Homelessness on the 20th and tomorrow at 10am we will be live streaming the launch of the newest private Union in NZ.

John Campbell is one of NZs most popular broadcasters who lost his show after TV3 Management forced it off air for political reasons.

Fran O’Sullivan is one of the NZ Herald’s most respected journalists and was smeared by right wing elements in Dirty Politics.

Nicky Hager is NZs leading investigative journalist who wrote Dirty Politics and many other books that have challenged power

Dita De Boni was one of the NZ Herald’s most popular columnists who now works for TVNZ.

Over the last 6 months, The Daily Blog and IKA have brought you monthly current affairs discussions you can’t see anywhere else. With hosts like Wallace Chapman, Lisa Owen, Mike McRoberts, Paula Penfold, Mihi Forbes and John Campbell and panelists like Jane Kelsey, Keith Locke, Bill Ralston, Simon Wilson, Dr Jackie Blue, Maxine Gay, Jacinda Ardern and Dr Michelle Dickinson, TDB has taken the demise of public broadcasting seriously and have offered genuine alternative.

The Daily Blog brings the best Left wing commentary to you daily on the issues that matter. We critique the mainstream media and we manage to break stories and influence the debate. We innovate and bring you content other blogs simply don’t. To do that though, we need your support.

I think perhaps Fran is so removed from the effects of this right winged government on those it does not serve, that she just suffers from plain old ignorance. If she knew how much she doesn’t know about the life of those at the bottom of the heap perhaps she’d become a socialist.
I may be wrong of course.

She was very defensive, and quite defensive of the Herald as well. Fran is well aware that people are fed up to the eyeballs with the Herald’s sycophantic worship of John Key. Fran is just as guilty, never failing to put in a good word, albeit lies, for key and his National government.

I’ve read certain comments that Slater is in the habit of collecting embarresing info on people, including those on the same side of the fence as him. He’s got a shitload of dirt on a lot of people, including our squeaky-clean PM.
